Summary
net: fec: Better handle pm_runtime_get() failing in .remove()
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: fec: Better handle pmruntimeget() failing in .remove()

In the (unlikely) event that pmruntimeget() (disguised as pmruntimeresumeandget()) fails, the remove callback returned an error early. The problem with this is that the driver core ignores the error value and continues removing the device. This results in a resource leak. Worse the devm allocated resources are freed and so if a callback of the driver is called later the register mapping is already gone which probably results in a crash.
